From the dirt to the road.

as has been said... they're honestly not much fun doing 100... I always figured you were out in the whops? if it's tight and twisty and your average speed will be around 50-60 you'll love it. Awesome around the city. I'd also avoid dual purpose tyres. Go motard you'll get plenty of skid out of them. DPs aren't so predictable. Keep it locked up man, they attract lots of 'interest'! that black kwaka looks awesome

Ive just got my restricted.I love riding on the road as well.
I picked up an 08 VL250 very cheap-previous owner ended up in paddock and started hating bikes lol! Looking forward to getting my full so I dont have to twist the throttle so much!! Already done 12,000 kms on the thing in the last 8 months.Very different to dirt riding!
Go for it Flyingcr250! - you have some wicked roads around Waingaro etc. p.s. - I had to buy an L'plate(the day i did my restricted test lol)!

thats why i want a dual purpose bike first so i can teach my self not to dirt ride on the road lol, and si i can get myself out of trouble if i ever have a crazy moment like that, would have looked cool though. at the end of the day im not looking to be rossi i just want to get to work with out too much traffic hassles and maybe go on a couple day trips etc....

Hmmmm dunno bout that theory, having ridden both road and dirt, I feel that the road bikes (if you go for a sport bike) have a totally diff stance to dirt, therefore you just dont ride dirt styles............ dunno just my observation from my own experiences - then again I didnt go hooning into any corners as Mr Camchain has done

Totally agree!!! I thought all my road experiance would be a small advantage when I biought my first dirt bike a couple of years ago. But no, I reckon it was a complete disadvantage!! Wrong body position! wrong everything!
So be careful out there!!
